 See Sidewalk Cycling in Arizona for updates or to comment

Cycling on the sidewalk is generally far more dangerous than doing so properly in the roadway. All stats and studies that I am aware of reinforce this fact. For example, in the city of Phoenix’s 2005 Bicycle Collision Summary [pdf] in the majority of the bike-motor vehicle collisions, the cyclist was riding on the sidewalk just before the collision. (345 of 480 total collisions = 72%). [placeholder for links to more detailed sidewalk-safety stuff]What about legality, though? [placeholder for references to az law]
